Super good to be back on LA’s airwaves after a 2 week break thank in part to musical adventures across the country. Nothing beats being at home with my pup, eating at my local eateries and being back in the basement on Monday nights. New gems from Waldo with the Sango revision plus cuts from Jay Electronica, Oscar Key Sung, Jazzanova on the remix tip. On the young rap front, cuts from Nia Keturah, Chester Watson and Bishop Nehru who I saw at SXSW and kilt it to the point Nas had to come out and give this young emcee the co/sign. Speaking of Nas I dropped One Love in honor of the 20 year Anniversary of Illmatic. Personal favorites include the new Metronomy, BadBadNotGood and Schoolboy Q. Everything else is just fire! Hope you dig!

Went into this session with a case of the Mondays. Over slept and was not as prepared as I wanted to be. But for the first time I figured this show would be a magic of the moment and it turned out to be a fun session. Broke out some of the vinyl towards the end of the set. Apologies for the crackles and hisses from the vinyl but it still sounded great at 2 am! New gems from Isaiah Rashad, Takuya Kuroda w/ Jose James, Gilligan Moss out of Chi town and much more. Hope you dig this week’s session. Out of Japan new drops from the Jazzy Sport crew via Dj Nature and Slick Team. And straight from the crates is Kimiko Kasai covering Stevie’s As featuring Herbie Hancock. Heat! Go listen!
